I love this challenge! Awesome idea......although, I think the competitive element would benefit massively from a weekly theme! That way people have to come up with something relevant and original and FRESH. Definitely following now for more cartoons! :) might even join in one day....

I've thought a lot about whether to keep the theme open or have a "prompt." The original purpose of this contest was to bring more people into cartooning as a simple and versatile means of sharing a message/emotion, and to demonstrate the versatility of the medium by a format that left the doors wide open to individual creativity and allowing other artists to judge as a "theme" if you will. Every 2 weeks we have a new steemit artist as a judge, and while I am not sure if that has affected the work that people create to submit, it does add a constant variable for prize awarding. I have had two cartoonists that I recall come out and say that they like the open content format and have been constantly open to feedback from the community on their preferences. Thanks for bringing this up!
@crittercrats @justnyz @lildebbiecakes @lovesoldier69 @sanderjansenart @sidekickmatt @turtledancedaily @artonmysleeve @london65 you guys are my most frequent cartoonists: what are your feelings on this contest being open theme/weekly theme! I'd love to hear more on this.
